Otto Bock C-Leg compact 3C96-1 Manual page 29

CAUTION
Penetration of dirt and humidity. Penetration of dirt and
humidity into the system components can lead to
• short circuits in the electronics and battery and result in mal-
function of the joint;
• defects on the hydraulic damper resulting in leakage of liquid;
or
• loss of function due to structural failure.
This can cause you to fall as well as result in skin irritation.
• Do not let foreign particles or liquids enter the system com-
ponents. Should the joint come into contact with liquid, re-
move the cosmetic cover and let the components dry. The
joint must then be sent to an authorized Otto Bock Service
for inspection. Your prosthetist is the contact person.
• Always close the plastic cover of the protective elastomer
cap after use.
• If the C-Leg®compact comes into contact with salt water, im-
mediately clean it with a cloth moistened with freshwater and
let it dry. The joint must then be sent to an authorized Otto
Bock Service for inspection. Your prosthetist is the contact
person.
CAUTION
Thermal overloading. Extended exposure to high temperatures
can lead to defects and result in malfunction of the joint up to loss
of function due to structural failure.
This can cause you to fall.
Avoid areas with extreme temperatures (see Section "Technical
Information").
